As I think you've found, aliases don't work.
However, I've just tested and found that relative paths in script steps for
remote databases resolve starting at the client application folder -- on my
machine /Applications/FileMaker Pro 7/ -- so
file:exportTest/test.tab
...will save into /Applications/FileMaker Pro 7/exportTest/test.tab
So you could save there then use AppleScript to move the files to the user's
home folder. Or, at a pinch, save to a network share (mounted by
AppleScript) and move them from there.
HTH,
Nigel
